Summary: Returned - did not fit correctly
Comment: Even though the manufacturer's website states that the bike rack would fit my 2002 Volvo C70, it rubbed against the rear spoiler. I chose to return it rather than risk damaging my car. Amazon's return center was gracious and extremely helpful in making sure that I was satisfied.

Summary: Worked great
Comment: It worked great with a round trip of over 120 miles. The only thing that I would like to see different are some type of padding on the hooks and something to hold the bike tires, but other than those two things I think that it worked great with two bikes; it's sets up quick and easily, and it's easy to put away too - didn't have to read the instructions really.

Summary: Just right bike rack
Comment: Allen 102S Premium 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack This rack fits my Honda Accord perfectly. It's very easy to put on and take off, and holds my 2 bikes very securely. Great rack and great price! Have just taken on short trips but have no doubt it'll be good for longer highway trips.

Summary: It's a very good product backed by first rate customer service!
Comment: This is a good product and well worth the money. Easy and relatively fast to mount; and it's a solid and safe carrier. Mine arrived with two straps that were not properly thermal cut so it takes time and some struggle to thread them through the narrow passages of plastic buckle - the straps hold the rack in place by hooking through car's car-carrier hooks (slots) underneath the rear bumper.
Metal parts are steel and feel solid - naturally they are heavier than aluminum tubing, sponge bumpers, however they are inserted into the tubing - they are there to prevent paint damage to your car's paint- badly cracked but so far holding- but eventually they will fail. This design is simple, functional, and it works. Yet Allen's Quality Control should be on the look out NOT to ship the product with minor yet annoying defects.
(8-18-08) Since I wrote this review, I had to contact Allen and request them to replace the defective parts with which my rack arrived. The customer service was lightening fast, no questions asked, in two days I received satisfactory solution to my problem.
I rate the customer service of Allen Top Notch, A-1, Superior.

Summary: Is it secure on a CRV?
Comment: Although the web site and box say this rack is compatible with the new Honda CRV, it is questionable. The top hooks will not lay flat and are hard to get into a secure position. The only place to put the bottom hooks is under the plastic skin on the bottom of the rear door, and the instructions say they should be hooked onto sheet metal. We have driven about 4 hours with the rack on the CRV, and the bottom straps tend to come loose due to vibrations, making me feel a little insecure about the security of our bikes on this rack. It is nice and compact and folds up flat, and it is inexpensive, but I would look for a different rack for a CRV.
